Another flyer and I were talking about what we each consider to be VLOS. I tend to be a little more loose on interpretation and methinks he is pretty close to what it really means.
Here's the set up:
A pilot is flying a very familiar remote location. At 3500' out in a lake is a rock pile where birds tend to congregate.
In flying to the location for filming the pilot cannot actually see the sUAV after 2500' but is completely aware of it's location in the sky and has full view of the surrounding sky for miles around..
I fly this route regularly. When a larger aircraft enters the area (which does occasionally happen) I simply stick down to 50' and assess the situation before continuing the flight.
I figure my interpretation isn't the letter of the law. What do you guys do?
